Periodontitis Treatment in Ortho Oral

About the clinic

Periodontitis treatment at Ortho Oral in Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic, focuses on both non-surgical and surgical methods to stop gum disease. The clinic uses an on-site radiology center with digital X-rays to create precise treatment plans. International patients can benefit from a VIP membership that provides virtual follow-up care after they return home.

Advanced diagnostics for gum disease

The clinic uses digital imaging to assess the health of the jawbone and gum tissue. These tools help identify the severity of the infection before treatment starts. Patients have access to several diagnostic methods at the facility:

Panoramic X-ray (OPG). This provides a broad view of the teeth and jaw structure.
Periapical X-ray. These images focus on individual teeth from the crown to the root.
Lateral skull X-ray. This helps evaluate the relationship between the teeth and the skull.
Intraoral scanning. This creates digital impressions of the mouth without using messy traditional molds.

Non-surgical periodontal therapy

For early stages of gum disease, the clinic focuses on removing bacteria and plaque. These methods help reduce inflammation and prevent the condition from getting worse. The primary non-surgical options include:

Scaling (detartraje). This involves the mechanical removal of plaque and calculus from tooth surfaces.
Subgingival scaling and root planing. This deep cleaning removes calculus from root surfaces below the gum line.
Curettage. The procedure removes inflamed soft tissue from the lining of periodontal pockets to promote healing.

Laser and surgical treatments

When gum disease is advanced, the clinic uses laser technology and surgical techniques to repair the damage. Laser therapy serves as a minimally invasive alternative to traditional surgery. Available procedures include:

Laser periodontal therapy. The clinic uses Erbium and Neodymium lasers to disinfect pockets and remove bacteria.
Gingivectomy and gingivoplasty. This surgery removes diseased gum tissue and reshapes the gums to eliminate deep pockets.
Periodontal surgery. Flap surgery allows doctors to reach deep bone defects for thorough cleaning and regeneration.

Ortho Oral: more details about the clinic

Dominican Republic, Santo Domingo

Ortho Oral is a private multi-specialty dental clinic in Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic. Founded in Colombia in 1995, it expanded to the Dominican Republic in 2000. The facility operates four specialized departments under one roof, treating both adults and children.Five specialized doctors care for local and international patients. The clinic also runs the Ortho Oral Mobile Clinics initiative. This program delivers oral health services and education directly to neighborhoods across the region.

Main Specialties and Dental Procedures

The clinic covers major dental fields: oral rehabilitation, endodontics, and periodontics. Specialists handle everything from routine care to complex surgeries.

Oral Implantology: Surgeons place dental implants using materials like zirconia for lasting tooth replacement.
Orthodontics and Orthopedics: Options include ceramic, self-ligating, and invisible braces to correct teeth positioning and jaw disorders.
Cosmetic Dentistry: Treatments include teeth whitening, minimal-prep veneers, and direct veneers for smile enhancement.
Maxillofacial Surgery: The surgical team performs simple and complex extractions, including impacted root removal.
Pediatric Dentistry: Dr. Celi Hernández treats children, focusing on prevention and early orthodontics.

A signature service is laser frenectomy. This procedure removes tissue folds that restrict tongue or lip movement. The laser method is more precise than traditional surgery. It needs less anesthesia and causes less inflammation afterward.

Panoramic X-rays (OPG)
Lateral skull and periapical X-rays
Intraoral scanning

An in-house orthodontics lab speeds up appliance production using imported materials.

Patient Safety and Hygiene Protocols

Sterilization anchors the clinic's daily workflow. A dedicated TOTAL STERILIZATION area handles all instruments and equipment. Staff follow strict biosafety procedures for infectious disease control. Digital diagnostics fit into these protocols, so treatment stays accurate within a sterile environment.
